What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Nepal about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare system in Nepal. The country has seen a surge in the number of COVID-19 cases, leading to an increased demand for medical services. This has put a strain on the already limited resources of the healthcare system. Hospitals have been overwhelmed with patients, leading to long wait times and limited access to medical care. The government has implemented various measures to help alleviate the situation, such as providing free testing and treatment for COVID-19 patients. However, the lack of resources and personnel has made it difficult to provide adequate care to all those in need," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Nepal.
